Wee additional giveaway (Facebook)

So I have been saying for a wee bit we would get another giveaway up on our blog side page, click here and it is the pinned post. And yes my tables are beaten up and need touched up but they were my mums then my da's and being unblemished/marked would I think take away from their character. They are creaky and imperfect :D so they have character.

You know we do BDWBS (Blind Date with a Book) for workies? Folk are always asking after them so we have done a giveaway for one. Winner gets to pick 1 of the 2 listed. One is historical fiction and one is paranormal fiction. The winner picks ONE of the two available. Each BDWB has x1 book, x1 bookmark and some kind of sweetie. If you look at both it tells you at the bottom it has either a hot drink, a facemask or a scented tealight candle.

I know I know my wrapping on this one isn't the best but I do find it difficult wrapping the ones with Yankee Candle tealights in them.

So just head over and comment which blind date you would pick, make sure you have liked the page so you don't miss the announcement and share the competition is always appreciated. Thanks for the support.

January's competition - better late than never

Hiya guys, I am so so sorry January's competition is so late in the month. We have had so much going on here :( but sure It can't rain all of the time and giveaways/raks/comps make me happy.

I have had one for ages and the light lasts a wee while, battery can be replaced but even when it gives out you still have a bookmark. I will use mine (white) to show it in action.

They can also be used to hold your phone if you like to listen to stuff as you are reading

It does give a decent bit of light.

They are pretty light in weight so I will make this one open worldwide. To enter, the usual, just use the Rafflecopter below. Please only fill in the entries you complete as all winning entries are always checked. Good luck, we will leave it open for the usual 4 weeks.

Thanks Natalia for taking time to do a Q&A with us.

How did you come up with the idea

Fictional Flames makes premium scented soy wax container candles. What makes my products different is that all labels are fully customisable and I provide a bespoke service to make sure the end design is exactly what my customers want - which works great for other businesses and authors - who are always my favourite to work with!
I started to make candles as a hobby and decided I wanted to share a product I'm so proud of with other people. I decided for a strong bookish theme because it's how i spend most of my time! As someone who is completely allergic to colour I decided I wanted my candles to be explicit, funny and bookish but versatile enough to fit in any room with any decor and on any bookshelf and I felt that the simple design was something that wasn't available with bookish candles

How long has it been going

It will be a year in April!

Where are you based

Nantwich in Cheshire

If authors et al wished to do a collab what is the best way to approach you

Instagram is always the best way!

How can people help small businesses?

Post engagement is super helpful! And any time that you buy from etsy, leave a review!!!

Where is the best place(s) to buy your candles (ie got your own website or list all where you are/sell)

I'm currently trying to set up a new website so at the moment Etsy

What scents do you recommend?

THERE ARE SO MANY!! Cherry amaretto, Pina Colada, strawberry daquari… there seems to be a theme here 👀👀

Anything else you would like to add we haven't asked?

I don't think so but I would like to thank you for including me in this, i fucking love talking about candles😂🩷


To enter please use the Rafflecopter below, if you are new here you complete the entries you want to, the more you do the more times your name is entered into the giveaway, entries are checked once the winner is drawn. Please note this is UK only as the business only delivers to the UK, the competition runs to the end of the month and will be drawn at the start of March.
